Everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. To love is to love even those who have not loved us and to compensate for the offenses they have committed against us (1 John 4:7-10). Those who are born of God are in the light and follow His footsteps.  They, therefore, love others and hate none (1 John 2:6-7).

This is an instruction for Christian living, NOT a requirement for Salvation or to maintain Salvation.


1:  Romans 3:10 NASB  as it is written, "THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE; THERE IS NONE WHO UNDERSTANDS, THERE IS NONE WHO SEEKS FOR GOD; ALL HAVE TURNED ASIDE, TOGETHER THEY HAVE BECOME USELESS; THERE IS NONE WHO DOES GOOD, THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE."

2:  Romans 3:23  NASB  for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

3:  Romans 5:12  NASB  Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned--

4:  Romans 6:23  NASB  For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

5:  Romans 1:18  NASB  For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,

6:  Romans 3:20  NASB  because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin.

7:  Romans 3:27  NASB  Where then is boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.

8:  Romans 5:8-9  NASB  But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him.

9:  Romans 2:4  NASB  Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?

10:  Romans 3:22  NASB  even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction;

11:  Romans 3:28  NASB  For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law.

12:  Romans 10:9  NASB  that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;

13:  Romans 4:21  NASB  and being fully assured that what God had promised, He was able also to perform.

14:  Romans 4:24 NASB  but for our sake also, to whom it will be credited, as those who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,

15:  Romans 5:1  NASB  Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

16:  Romans 10:10  NASB  for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.

17:  Romans 10:13  NASB  for "WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED."

Only through your  faith in the Son of God  "Jesus christ"  can you  be born again.Love in Jesus Def
I know.

Whoever confesses that Jesus Christ died for them on the cross and rose again on the third day
is born again.ROMANS 10:9-11

If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

 Now lets look at something else here. ::)

I believe first and formost Christians should be out winning lost souls to Jesus, yet we need to be carefull not to sell worthless fire insurance.

When ever i have had joy of eing used by God to help a lost soul find it's way home I allways have them pray to God out of their own words. I tell them to just talk to God, to in their own words to ask for forgiveness and to ask for His help to live for Him. This way it is from their heart and not just some repeted words that really don't mean something. Now I am not saying that a sinners prayer is wrong or that people have not been saved this way.

Amen Klynn,

A "prayer of salvation" is just the same as the prayer Jesus taught His disciples. It is meant as an example not necessarily a strict by the book prayer. Prayer needs to come from the heart, not just the mind alone. Salvation is of the heart and not just the mind alone.

Even atheists have people they love. Does that make them "born of God"?

 Just asking , because I am knew here, my question is , the words  " born again " taken from John 3:3 or are we using 2 Cor 5: 17 , that we are a new creature in Christ ?

Hi dan p,

I see that this is your first post so I would like to say Welcome to Christians Unite forums.

Actually it is both. When we are born again we are made "a new creature in Christ".
